Beer?

I left out the Summerfest since it's not the season, but that's my go-to hot weather beer.

I enjoy trying new and different IPAs from many breweries, but always find myself stocking up with my 'hometown' favorites. (No disrespect intended, Speedo.) No other brewery has a lineup of hoppy ales to compare with Sierra Nevada. Gimme an IPA or gimme death!!

John,

I've had the opportunity to drag my wife and daughters into the SN giftshop as a detour while touring colleges, but have yet to get the chance for a meal and brewery tour. It's something on my to-do list that I should plan as a guy's daytrip. If done right, it should last the whole day.

Kenny Grossman, the owner of SN loves the hoppy stuff. He used to do a version of IPA with hops so fresh that he had them Fed Exed from Washington to the brewery. (I can't remember what it was called but it was to beer what Beaujolais Nouveau is to some wine drinkers.) Now he's growing some hops on site and gets it even fresher!
 
This thread is making me miss those hot summer days on the water!

One of the great benefits of our new marina on the river is the BBQ joint up the street. Sadly, their ribs are only mildly ok. I find that disappointing. However, they make up for it in the beer department. I literally don't think I've had a frostier mug of beer in my life anywhere! They are awesome, to the point I have been pondering how they get them so darn icy cold....almost like a beer slushy!! Simply awesome.
 
Thanks Al, I couldn’t figure out what those guys were talking about, they said beer but were talking soda.
Celebration is the only thing in the reefer now. Torpedo was ok in summer but now that celebration is back it just doesn’t work.
Try one of those bigger estate bottling SN do.

Hoppy holidays
 
bobalong, thank you! The reason that Coor's Light is like making love in a canoe is --------It is fxxxxxx near water. !!!!
 
Tony - frosty beer mugs - put them in the freezer wet.
 
If you drink good beer then it doesnt have to be almost frozen to taste good.
 
Port Townsend Amber, brewed at the PT City Marina, just few hunderad yards from the dock. IMO
 
Cold beer, hot lights, my sweet romantic teenage nights...

Don't have a kegarator on board, but I do at home and it is usually tapped into a keg of Back Hand of God stout.

Micro-Brewed locally at Cranog Ales in Sorrento BC Canada. Gotta love a full flavoured brew.

Smithwick (Irish)
Guinness
Pete's Wicked Ale
Most Sam Adams

Light Beer is not allowed in my cooler.
 
Belgian IPAs, Bass ale, most Molsons, Kalik, most micros, Kokanee...the list goes on.
 
3 beer reps , a bud rep, a coors rep and a Guinness rep, are all traveling the same sales route. One day they all decided to go out together after work. When the waitress arrived to take their orders the Bud rep said: "I'll have the king of beers, Budweiser." The Coors rep said: "I'll have the only beer brewed with waters of the Rocky Mountains, Coors."
The Guinness rep said: "I will have a Coke."
Both the Bud and Coors reps looked and the Guinness rep and asked why he wasn't going to have a Guinness? To which the Guinness rep replied: "Hell, if you guys aren't going to have a beer neither am I."

You just reminded me that perhaps the most I ever enjoyed any beer was when we first had Smithwicks out of the tap in Ireland about six years ago. Man, was that great! It just isn't the same in bottles. Good, but not the same.

Yes it always seems better in a pub in Ireland. Some places do carry Smithwick on tap here in the US.

Did you notice that many of the locals in Ireland would order a Smithwick and a Guiness? The reason is that they could drink the Smitwick while the Guinness was slowly being drawn and settling.
 
Elephant Beer. It's a long walk back to the Yacht Haven after a six pack of those!
 
My favorite beer ?

The fourth.....I've a much better dancer, strikingly good looking, and makes me incredibly witty ; )
 
Absolutely nothing out of a can. Nothing that says Bud or Miller etc. anywhere. Sam Adams cherry wheat, pretty good. Loads of good regional & microbrews around.
